Food and Family!

June 6 – We were close to the designated time to be at Pete and Jane’s this morning, 10 o’clock!  It didn’t take long to pile into their car and head out for Parks Blueberries out in Bothwell. We had a wrong turn or 2 and a detour, but we finally made it.  It’s a nice drive through some small towns, lots of farm land, a deer and wild turkeys here and there.  They have a really nice (and expensive) shop with nice kitchen items and lots of beautiful home décor items.  However, the real draw is the yummy baked goods they make there and the nice and delicious food they prepare for breakfast and lunches.  Pete wasn’t feeling well so he didn’t eat but Bill and I each had one the daily specials of a ham and cheese on ciabatta bread with a side salad.  There were blueberries with the salad.  They a raspberry pepper jelly on the sandwich and it was super tasty.  Jane had an egg salad wrap with a salad and no one left a crumb!  Then it was time to pick out what pastries were leaving with us!  We got a box that held 6 items and Bill chose a raspberry/Chocolate scone, a raspberry scone and a raspberry turnover.  I went with a lemon/cranberry scone, a chocolate croissant, and a giant cheese tea biscuit.  Yum!  We also bought 4 butter tarts to share with Pete and Jane after dinner.

We headed home and the guys took the car to the

mechanic to check on a warning light that came on earlier and “waited” at the local bar!  Jane and I took off for Dollar Tree as I wanted to see if it was the same as ours.  It is except the cards are $1 but everything else is $1.25.  Jane and I both picked up a few things.  After more visiting, Pete lit the grill and he and Bill grilled everyone’s meat of choice.  Everyone pigged out with the grilling, chips, salad and of course, the Butter Tarts.  They were REALLY good and gooey!

Dad doing his part!

After more visiting and watching everyone starting to dose off, it was time to get home as Molly would be having a fit of hunger by then  (Yes, she was!)

The robin nesting her babies behind us on the ladder of the RV, are so fun to watch.  I've gotten several photos of the process.

We were both kinda tired so I didn’t even write my journal!
